#SHOWBIZ: Stream and scream: 5 global horrors on Tonton to thrill your Halloween

Halloween invites viewers to dim the lights and immerse themselves in atmospheric terror. Tonton provides a curated selection of acclaimed international horrors for an elevated spook-tacular marathon. Here are five standout films streaming now to ensure a hair-raising Halloween night:

1. Circle of Bones (2020) - This Filipino action-horror film made waves at the Las Vegas Global Cinema Festival, winning top awards. Based on real-life dark cult practices, it follows a retired FBI agent uncovering a ritualistic human sacrifice cult in the Philippines. Combining brutal martial arts with supernatural dread, it's a visceral, unrelenting experience.

2. Anak Persiaran Syaitan 2 (2024) - This Malaysian supernatural thriller builds on its predecessor's success. Young Azreen is haunted by demonic visitors, forcing her to confront her family's dark past. Atmospheric tension, Malay occult folklore, and psychological horror keep viewers on edge. It offers a chilling look at local spiritual terror.

3. Ten Minutes to Midnight (2020) - Led by horror icon Caroline Williams, this American indie favorite earned acclaim for its stylish execution and psychological depth. Set on a stormy night in an isolated radio station, a rabid bat bite turns a veteran DJ into a blood-soaked nightmare. It's a weird, dark homage to classic creature features anchored by a powerhouse performance.

4. The Windmill Massacre (2016) - Awarded at FrightFest and other genre showcases, this Dutch slasher delivers gore with gothic mystery. International tourists stranded in a remote Dutch windmill face a miller who sold his soul to the Devil. Practical effects and a relentless atmosphere make it a gruesome treat for slasher fans.

5. Night Watch (2021) - This Chinese mystery-horror thriller relies on twists and psychological dread over gore. Amnesiac security guard Li Wei investigates a murder at a secluded facility, uncovering a ghostly presence. As he reconstructs his shattered memories, the line between supernatural haunting and psychological delusion blurs, delivering a cerebral, suspenseful chill.
